Hey everybody,

I know that configuring Ventrilo for the first time can be a little scary, so I'm here to help. These are the simple steps to get up and running on Vent:

1 ) Download and install the client from here

2 ) Start the ventrilo program. Click on the Start button, click on Programs and then click on Ventrilo. This will display another menu option called Ventrilo that will start the actual program.

3 ) Click on the "->" button that is next to the first pulldown window called "User Name". This will open a new window where you can create a logon name to be used when connecting to a server.

4 ) Click the "New" button. This will open a small window where you can enter your logon name. The name you enter is entirely up to you. It can be your real name or a nick name.

5 ) Click the "OK" button. You can come back to this window and click on the help button later on if you want more detailed information about what the other options mean and how to use them.

6 ) Now that you are back to the main window click on the "->" button that is next to the pulldown window called "Server". This will open a new window where you can enter the details about the server you would like to connect to.

7 ) Click the "New" button. This will open a small window where you can enter a name that will describe the new server definition. The name can be anything you want it to be like: "My server" or "Joe's server". When entering a server name you don't need the quotes around it. These server names will show up in the main Ventrilo window.

8 ) Click "OK".

9 ) Click on the "Hostname or IP" input box and enter the server IP address - 67.19.16.42

10 ) Click on the "Port number" input box and enter the servers port number - 3806. The program will automatically display the default port number of 3784 but you can change this.

11 ) Click on the "Password" input box and enter the servers password - shogun.

12 ) Click "OK" to return to the Ventrilo main window.

13 ) Click "Connect" to establish a connection between you and the server you just defined.

14 ) Click on the Setup button and change the "sensitivity" setting to 5. Change the "silence" value to .5 sec. This should allow your voice activation to work a little better.

15 ) Click "Ok" and you're done!

You may need to do a little tweaking of the settings in the setup screen, but you'll need to have a call going when you do it.

We currently have a 30-slot license for the server, but it's easy to add more if we start getting a lot of use. Good luck and happy gaming Ronins!
